We commend the whole of government approach and attempt to create a strategy that recognises the interrelated nature of many issues. We appreciate that this document attempts to set in place a set of principles and guiding framework that can be used consistently across different areas of government. As such, one of the most important things about this document is that it signals a new approach and a new set of processes that will guide the working methodology This will require a significant shift within the culture and systems of the organisations tasked with realising this strategy, if it is to be successfully realised. This challenge – to build understanding and respect for Indigenous cultures across the whole of our society is a key starting point.
